My boss uses a CPAP and he...

I've been brooding over this and reading up for months on end and... I suspect very strongly that I may be on the high functioning end of the Autistic Spectrum (formerly Asperger's). As some here know, I was diagnosed with Dyspraxia a few years back. Many of these neurodiversities do overlap in certain areas, and there are often comorbidities between...

I have a bit of insulin resistance which I have gained control of by cutting out all processed foods, grains, and simple sugars. The sugar is the worst for me! Today I ate a serving of 85% dark chocolate which only had 5 grams of sugar and within 30 minutes my blood glucose went from 110 to 70 and then back to 110. I hate that feeling of my body chemistry going up and down. What I have...

Around 2 months ago I was referred to hospital after a regular eye test spotted I had swelling at the back of my eyes. A few questions about headaches, blurry vision, and things started to sound familiar. From there I went through the basic blood tests, a CT scan and many... many attempts at a lumbar puncture before they finally realised my fat back is problematic for sticking needles into and got it...

I have an autoimmune disease called Sjogren's syndrome, and am just within the diagnostic critera for Lupus. Right before I had the stroke, I came down with two serious viruses back to back (viral bronchitis...

I thought it would be fun and useful to detail some home remedies here - and they don't have to be health-related. For each post that follows, I'll add a note to this original post so it can serve as an index. With any luck, we'll have quite a collection that can be easily searched through without reading page after page. Neat, huh? If it takes off well, I'll sticky it.
